Discovery of EMRE in fungi resolves the true evolutionary history of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter
The mitochondrial calcium uptake system, crucial for cellular processes, evolved in ancient eukaryotes. Here, authors perform a phylogenomic analysis across 1,156 eukaryotes, and show that previously identified animal and fungal genes in this system originated from an ancestral duplication.
